Pennywise
Back by popular demand is Pennywise, AGA’s CBD rich strain with the cross genetics of Harlequin x Jack the Ripper. Combining CBD and THC enhances the “Entourage Effect” of the strain, a theory that explains cannabinoids (cannabis compounds) that are taken together can compliment each other and are more effective as opposed to being taken alone. Therapeutically, you get the best of both worlds! Since CBD helps to counteract the psychoactive effects of THC, patients find that high CBD strains helps to provide a more controlled elevation with the continued medical benefits from THC. Remember that every patient reacts differently, so even with a strain like Pennywise, start low and go slow. Dried cannabis flower is typically ingested via inhalation. Activation time is roughly about 5 minutes and can last up to a few hours.
About this strain: Pennywise
Pennywise is a CBD-rich hybrid from California’s TGA Genetics. After years of research and development to create a strain high in CBD, TGA landed on a cross between a Harlequin female and a Jack the Ripper male. The result was Pennywise, averaging 12-15% CBD with equal ratios of THC. According to TGA co-founder Subcool, Pennywise began in 2007 when he worked with a rare Harlequin cut from breeder Chef Joel of Norstar Genetics, who holds the same Harlequin cutting today.
According to TGA, Pennywise has four main phenotypes -- traits the earth pulls from the plant’s genetic code -- exhibiting varying amounts of coffee, lemon and bubblegum flavors. All four are reported by the breeder to produce both the relaxing, therapeutic effects of Harlequin and the invigorating effects of Jack the Ripper. Per Subcool, the goal with Pennywise is a 1:1 THC/CBD ratio -- with the most popular phenotype testing at 11% THC, 11% CBD.
